Quantitative Analysis of Micro-Structural Transformation in Extrusion Process

The project steps and related milestones for the first year period as defined in the project proposal are:

1. Set up of model suspension systems and of basic laboratory analytical procedures for testing microstructure, rheology and mechanical extrudate product properties (6 months) described in chapters 1-3
2. Set-up / adjustment of extrusion system and first experiments with the selected model systems (6 months) described in chapters 4 and 5
